Well, THAT is surprising. They are not comparable at all for me. In my
setup, with the variable settings I reported, the old backend keeps up
with key repeat and I can scroll one line at a time as long as I want
(that's so in two different computers, with different XP versions,
different CPUs, etc.); and the redisplay during the scroll is smooth.
The new backend either scrolls visibly slow or, often, it just
recenters.

For my use and scrolling habits, the new backend is unusable and
unbearable. That's a fact: I wouldn't be able to use the CVS Emacs
right now, were not for --disable-font-backend. But that is not a
complain, I'm *reporting* one case of quite noticeable slowness in one
particular use case (scrolling one line at a time) that is perhaps
less usual that the "use C-v/M-v a lot and let next-line/previous-line
ocassionally recenter" behavior that many people prefers.

That said, if you take offense to my choice of words, I apologize and
will try to be more careful from now on. I wasn't trying to slight the
work you've done with the new backend, which is great.
